Hope for the future

[jillruss]

I'm sure Guy was trying to bring some 'hope for the future' as this thread seems to demand. I have no idea whether the advice is hokum or helpful but that doesn't give anyone the right to gang up on the poor man.

I posted some reality as I see it on this thread yesterday about government underfunding being partly responsible for the current NHS crisis and was told in no uncertain terms to go away if I couldn't be 'hopeful'.

Hope comes in many guises - mine is that a lesson has been learnt and the NHS will receive decent funding (and lots of reorganisation) in years to come. Some of you might care to start your future Utopia by being nicer to your fellow Rootschatters!

I agree entirely, especially as one link posted has many dubious adverts and little in the way of facts.

Fact.   The minimum recommended fluid intake for a man is 3 litres, that’s a lot of cups of tea. The

Fact.  The lead medical oncologist I see recommends gargling with  salt and water,  I trust him

Lets stay friendly  and enjoy each day as it comes,  even the experts cannot agree so give commonsense a fair try

Remember that "Chinese proverb / Curse" :
"May you live in interesting times"
Well, in retrospect, most of us might feel that one way or another over approximately the past decade, we have been - and are doing just that.
BUT - I can't say I like it. I'd prefer uninteresting, calm and unruffled times, please.

Shouldn't the majority of the posts on this thread be moved elsewhere? Either to the Covid19 thread or a new one - perhaps titled Covid19, myths and facts? Then this thread could be left for Rishile's original intention.

The science is flawed in the garbage posted.
You cannot wash out your lungs by drinking water.
Stomach fluids do not kill it.

My computer is refusing to display the page on the above link.

Is this a fake site, because our official BBC site was definitely a co.uk site?

There was a claimed UK appeal by an organisation for money (posted by a Forum poster) which our British Army already have in hand.

So I searched for the organisation (by name) and ended up with different main web addresses.

Be very careful, fraudsters are operating!

The BBC official site  https://www.bbc.co.uk/ searching ... Coronavirus drinking water
